The books are HERE!

THE BOOKS ARE HERE! […]

Can I […]

“Early-Style Hardanger” has gone to the printers!

The final black and white proofs ready for the printers.

I’ve finally done it!

Overnight and this morning I transferred all the files to my printers, and then all the files for the five other books I’m having reprinted at the same time! Only about a year later than I had originally anticipated.
